Abstract
An apparatus for an aircraft cabin may include a body and a personal electronic device (PED) holder. The body may include a sloped surface between a top surface and a recess surface with a plurality of recess protrusions configured to support a PED. The body may be couplable to a surface within the aircraft cabin via one or more couplers. The PED holder may include a paddle and at least one hinge coupler. The paddle may be located opposite the sloped surface within the recess. The paddle may be dimensioned to fit within the recess when the PED holder is in a closed position. The paddle may be configured to support the PED when the PED holder is in an open position. The PED holder may be configured to rotate about an axis through the at least one hinge coupler between at least the open position and the closed position.
